I wish Blizzard made an effort to keep Mechs alive, just like they're keeping Dragons relevant.

Mechs were so cool, a bit snowbally maybe, but cards like Gorillabot, Annoy-a-tron, Arcane Nullifier and many more were so tasteful and provided such fun tools against aggro or just for a more midrange-y deck. I loved spare parts too, but they too have vanished out of existence.

What do we have now? No mech-synnergy, hardly any mechs in Standard (a whopping total of 9 in standard, of which only 1 sees some play).

Dragons though, dragons are amazing. We got the base legendary dragons, Twilight Drake, you got your Drakonid from Gadgetzan, Primordial Drake from Un'Goro, three Dragons from Frozen Throne and now again five more (one of which is looking to be one of the best cards ever).

What about support for mechs? Wind-up-burglebot? Meat Wagon? Scorp-o-matic (which I think is fun design, but ah well)? The only mech that is being used (Curator) isn't even used for his Mech-status.

Bring back Mechs in glory, please Blizzard! Dragons are awesome, Elementals see frequent support now, but mechs are as good as dead. Which is a shame if you ask me.

    I like Mechs.

    I am sure we will visit an area that has a lot of mechs in it again one day. Lots of the zones we have been visiting are light on mechs so it didn't make sense. Some minion types make more sense in a lot of zones, like Dragons and Murlocs. Mechs feel like a minion type that shows up sometimes then fades for a while, then returns again later.

    Thanks for the show of support for Mechs, the designers here share the love for Mechs.
